"Cincinnati has a lot to offer us and we are very excited to be here," Pamela Hirsch, producer of the film, said in a news release. "It was a long and thoughtful process to decide where we could film this movie. We landed on Cincinnati because of the attention and total cooperation of the Film Commission, the State's film incentive, the location and the good-will of the people."

"We look forward to exploring the culture, musicians and backdrop of this city. We are hoping to work closely with the community to bring this project to screen," Cheadle said in the release.
